A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 292 Demon Suppression Cave

The night passed in silence, and early in the morning, Uncle Mei sent someone over to invite them to breakfast. The old man was helped to the table by the tribesmen and sat down. He was served some easy-to-digest porridge, but he didn't eat with Qiqi and the others. He hadn't eaten in a month, so he had to eat porridge for a few days before anything else.

"Hello, old man, how are you feeling today? Thank you very much for your care." Qiqi said.

"I feel fine today. I feel energetic and can sit for a long time." said the old patriarch.

"I'm checking you today. Your body is in serious condition. It seems like you have given all your energy to others, leaving yourself exhausted. What's going on?" Qiqi asked.

"Hey, child, it seems you are definitely a capable person. In the early years, my niece Jiang Ziying often participated in the demon wars. We were worried about her, so her uncle often went to protect her. We spirits have powerful healing abilities.

He had helped Ziying many times, without incident. In the final battle, Ziying was surrounded by hundreds of great demons. Her uncle's men perished in the fight to save her. He, too, was harmed by several of them, and the soul of one possessed him, merging with his own. He forced himself back into the spirit race, sealing himself in the Demon Suppression Cave. When I learned of this, I wanted to force the great demon's soul out of him.

I've tried many methods, all without success. All I can do is strengthen the seal of the Demon Suppression Cave, trapping him inside. Every year, I try to extract the demon soul, but to no avail. Sometimes, when the demon soul has the upper hand, we still fight in the Demon Suppression Cave.

I was afraid the demon soul would grow stronger and kill her uncle's soul. Every time we fought, I injected some of my own abilities into it, making his uncle's soul stronger and more solid so it could compete with the demon soul in his body.

I've lived this way for over a thousand years, and I thought I couldn't hold on any longer. I want to share this method with your Uncle Mei. I'm afraid he'll follow my path in the future. I don't want to burden him any further. Let's go together, father and son. A month ago, I used all my energy to seal the Demon Suppression Cave, preventing the eldest brother from coming out. He might turn into a demon, and the entire spirit race would be buried with him.

He began to pant as he spoke. Qiqi quickly brought a bowl of water and handed it to the old man. The old man drank it, and his panting gradually subsided.

"Old man, you said Uncle Mei has a brother, and you sealed him in the Demon Suppression Cave, leaving him to die." Qiqi asked, feeling very uncomfortable. Although they had never met, the feeling of being protected and watched over was real. Is this the extraordinary perception of the spirit race?

"Brother Jingze, since we are here, let's go and take a look at the Demon-Suppressing Cave! See if we can help? God has guided us here, so we should do something. Do you think we should go?" Qiqi asked.

"Qiqi, whatever decision you make, I will support you." Zhou Jingze said.

"Qiqi, stop calling me old man. I am your grandpa. Can you call me grandpa?"

Qiqi didn't act pretentiously.

"Oh, good boy. Good boy!" The old patriarch shed tears.

"Grandpa, please don't cry. I'll go see my uncle and see if there is any solution," said Qiqi.

"I'm worried about you going. I don't know your uncle's condition right now, and I can't let you take risks. Can I take you with me when I recover? I can still protect you."

"Grandpa, my uncle may not be able to wait. I guess you don't want his soul to disappear. Wouldn't all your efforts over the years be in vain?"

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Zhou Jingze and Qiqi supported the old patriarch as they walked towards the mountain behind the Spirit Clan. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they came upon a formation. Behind the formation was a large mountain. A faint, multicolored light streamed out.

Qiqi knew that grandpa was going to open the formation, so she took out a few pills and some spirit stones and handed them to grandpa.

The old man understood what Qiqi meant at a glance. He sat cross-legged on the ground, ate the pill, absorbed the spirit stone, and recovered a little.

He opened the formation. "Go in and check on your uncle. If his spirit is completely under your control, destroy him if you can. If not, retreat. He can't leave the Demon Suppression Cave until the seal is loosened and broken," the old man warned.

"Grandpa, don't worry, we will take care of it." After saying that, Qiqi and Zhou Jingze walked into the formation.

After they entered, they saw a dark cave in the distance. The cave was sealed. Grandpa didn't tell her how to break the seal.

Qiqi and the others came up to them. Qiqi reached out and placed one hand on the seal, while holding Zhou Jingze with the other hand. With a whoosh, they entered the seal.

This was the benefit of the spirit race's bloodline. Because it was set up by her grandfather, she had the right to come and go. Others in the tribe didn't.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze looked into the cave, which was pitch black. They took out their flashlights to illuminate the area. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of chains up ahead.

Zhou Jingze also saw many oil lamps in the cave. He took out a flint and lit them.

They saw a man in tattered clothes, with long, tangled hair that covered his face. Both of his arms and collarbones were laced with chains. When he moved, the chains pulled at his muscles, which must have been painful.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze did not move forward, but stopped in front of their uncle.

"Are you my uncle? Grandpa asked me to come and see you. Can you hear me?" Qiqi asked directly.

They both saw him raise his head and toss his hair. His face was pale and bloodless. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at them furiously, like a berserker glaring at his prey.

Soon the bloodshot in his eyes faded, perhaps because his uncle's spirit was taking over. A light gradually flickered in his eyes. He saw Qiqi's face clearly. His mouth stretched as if he were smiling.

"You are the reincarnation of Jiang Ziying. I knew someone was plotting against her, and I couldn't help her in this body. I let her meet with an unexpected disaster. I, as your uncle, have failed in my duty."

"Uncle, you have done very well. Grandpa told me about your story. If you had not helped Jiang Ziying, she might have died long ago. There would be no reincarnation of me. I would not have come to the spirit clan. Uncle, please don't blame yourself. How do you feel now? I have some pills here for you to take! Let me repair your injuries first and then we can talk about other things. You can call me Qiqi!" Qiqi said.

"Your name is Qiqi, a nice name. Is father okay? It's because of me, his son, that he got into trouble. He often uses his energy to suppress the evil spirit for me. He hasn't come for over a month, and I'm very worried about him."
